Paul McCartney – $6.3K, 1964 Aston Martin DB5
Paul McCartney’s work with The Beatles ensured his name was stamped in the history books forever. The band was one of the highest-selling ones in their time, so it’s no wonder McCartney could get hold of the sleek 1964 Aston Martin.
His accountants helped him purchase the car for £4,593 or about $6,350 plus tax in 1964. That was a pretty hefty sum at the time, but McCartney auctioned the car off for $1.82 million in 2017, so you could probably call that a good bargain. The 78-year-old is the UK’s richest musician in 2021, with a net worth of $1.16 billion.
